06:00:00 +07:00 Amazon to start using bodegas and small businesses to deliver packages - I have seen something similar where I am in Vietnam. Some shops have a large metal cabinet into which staff place small packages customers give them. It appears to be for sending rather than receiving. Anyhow, such partnerships with small businesses could prove to be very valuable in a future where physical increasingly integrates with digital. Amazon famously has highstreet stores called Amazon Go, that automatically tally up the food you put in your trolley as you shop and charges you as you walk out. The new packages delivery program has a cool name too, Amazon Hub. Wouldn't it be interesting if Amazon opened a major crypto exchange and turned high street shop partners into crypto exchanges? That was an idea I put forward in my recent ultimately very pro-bitcoin article that in retrospect was sort of maskerading as a hit piece. It's strange how creativity works sometimes.# www.axios.com
